The Super Mario Bros. Movie trailer from Universal Studios, Nintendo, and Illumination looks pretty solid. It may be a teaser, but the voice casting with Chris Pratt as the titular Mario brother and Jack Black as Bowser seems appropriate for now. That said, some comparisons between the adaptation and the source material are inevitable. Here's wh...
You may not be familiar with the name Mitsuhiro Yoshida, but you should know the work he has done: the River City Ransom series of games, or the Nekketsu titles in Japan. Mitsuhiro Yoshida passed away on 30 August. He was the president of Miracle Kidz, but he was remembered more for creating the Kunio-Kun games like River City Ransom and Super D...
The recent announcement of Dotemu and Tribute Games' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is another addition to the awesome wave of new-yet-kinda-old beat-em-ups we've been seeing since 2019's River City Girls. It's also a stark reminder that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had been a merchandise juggernaut since the 90s, video games ...
We bid farewell to yet another legend of video games. Masayuki Uemura, the lead architect for the Famicom/NES and the Super Famicom/SNES has passed away on 6th December. He was 78, according to an Oricon News report. Previously, Uemura worked at Sharp, selling photocell technology to various companies. Though everything changed when he got a ...
To celebrate the release of Ghostbusters Afterlife this week in Malaysia and Southeast Asian cinemas, I'd like to bring up a good number of Ghostbusters licensed games that came out and were fun to play. Okay, that was a lie: there weren't that many. A good chunk of them ended up being complicated for their own good, while the ones that came out...
Right now, it's a common problem for gamers to complain about how hard it is to get their hands on a PS5. Well, almost four decades ago, gamers in the 80s experienced the same problem, but with the iconic console that was the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) or Famicom (to those who lived in Japan or Asia). This new original HBO Max movie is ...
Square Enix's Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster has a release date : 28 July 2021. However, the games in the remastering (Final Fantasy to Final Fantasy VI) will not be released as one bundle. Instead, each remastered game will be out as individual releases. This is still tentative, as Square Enix deleted a recent video that details the remaster. ...
The Super Mario titles from Nintendo are arguably the most influential and iconic games around. Anyone who tells you otherwise is probably lying through their teeth. Without the mind of Nintendo designer Shigeru Miyamoto at the helm of these mothership games, there wouldn't be a Nintendo at all in the late 80s and the 90s. In fact, Nintendo and ...
Nintendo and Puma have announced a new collaboration to celebrate Super Mario‘s 35th anniversary, with four pairs of themed trainers set for release on 27 November 2020.

Here's a recap of what went on during the Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary Direct. Super Mario Bros. Game & Watch This special Game & Watch liquid colour display device features Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros....
Few games out there have a cultural footprint as significant as Final Fantasy. Originally a fantasy role-playing game inspired by western titles such as Ultima and Wizardry, the first Final Fantasy in 1987 was a small project that followed four Warriors of Light as they set off on a grand adventure to save their world. The game was a commercial su...
Did you know that we wouldn't be getting a bunch of Nintendo theme parks, Nintendo-branded mobile games, and even an upcoming Mario movie from Illumination were it not for one of Nintendo's prized possessions? According to Nintendo's legendary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto, he talks about why his stance towards the Mario movie changed since the 1...

Final Fantasy's music has always been the best kinds of OSTs to default to; they're inventive, fun, and catchy at times. To celebrate the Distant Worlds concert that's scheduled for this weekend starting tomorrow night, here's a SoundScape video Mr Toffee did that focuses on the many arrangements of the Final Fantasy theme. You know, the one that ...
In honour of Sekiro's One-Armed Wolf, a shinobi/ninja with a grappling hook and the ability to resurrect when needed, let's talk about video games' plethora of silent killers, one-man powerhouses, and black/white-clad sword-wielding shuriken-chucking heroes: the video game ninja. Unlike the real-life variant, most video game ninjas attack their ...
Shigeru Miyamato's action-adventure brainchild, The Legend of Zelda, is a timeless game meant for all ages. Yet somehow the main character Link can't seem to get top billing for the games he's in. Regardless, they're a bag of fun because they focus a lot on exploration, adventuring, and problem-solving. You're not playing a Zelda game purely fo...
So Mega Man 11's music isn't exactly lighting the Mega-world on fire. A shame too, because the Mega Man games boast one of the catchiest 8-bit (and more) soundtracks for a 2D action platformer game filled with theme park setpieces as actual boss levels. Dozens of metal artists and cover bands will always find a way to play tracks like Mega Man 2's ...
What else is there to say about Mega Man (or Rock Man if you're from Japan)? He is Capcom's original mascot with the run-and-gun fun and also innovates with the boss weapon-stealing powerup. While the X and Zero games superceded and improved upon the weapon-stealing formula, you can't forget your 8-bit roots. But which Mega Man game is the best? W...
